Frustrated
Phone Scoop, come on! All the messaging phones are smart phones. Sometimes people don't want to pay the ridiculous data prices on smart phones and want a decent feature phone that's good for messaging. Wait, maybe this isn't your fault. Carriers aren't really carrying those any more. Stupid greedy @#$#%$%!

Umm, no. I believe that is the Budget Phone category. Who wants that junk? Let me quote the article
"This year saw an interesting phenomenon: the near-death of the feature phone. Sure, plenty of basic phones are still available from the likes of LG, Kyocera, Pantech, Samsung, and Huawei, but many of the phones released this year fall into the smartphone category. Take quick messaging phones, for example. Feature phones with QWERTY keyboards and dual displays were all the rage in 2007 - 2009. They were inexpensive, and didn't necessarily require a data plan. Now, the category has essentially vanished, only to be replaced by low-cost Android smartphones that have QWERTY keyboards. "

"Budget" or not, it's the best of what's on the market that's not a smartphone.
